VR Workouts - Plug Into Nirvana Escapism can be good provided you make the right use of it. More so, if you wish to escape the harsh reality of physically demanding workout sessions. You must be wondering whether Peter is in his senses, Guys, I am talking about plugging into technology and tuning into Nirvana. If a general visit to the gym does not motivate you to sweat and burn out, there’s the virtual reality to the rescue. Imbibing a digital world into a cohesive fitness environment makes sense. Well! Common sense will say otherwise, but I’ve come across guys and gals especially the millennial generation getting cranky to step up to working out at the gym. There’s good news, the future of fitness or what I term as “virtual exercise routines” is gaining popularity and the prevalence of digital fitness has already started, with smartphones, watches and video monitors fully capable of revealing vital statistics. In this shift of ages, we need to make room for VR. Fitness professionals in Dubai are aware of VR being the in-thing amongst the technology we use. Here I try and convey how a VR workout makes perfect sense to escape the boredom of traditional workouts. Let’s explore more:         

“Immersive fitness” the right lingo to better understand what virtual fitness calls for. VR is seen as something that is going to shape the fitness of the future. There are several studies on its effectiveness as a workout. Studies revealed that people thought they were putting in less effort than they were. Another study revealed virtual reality can reduce the feeling of pain and effort while exercising. VR turns the traditional gym workout into a game. In a virtual environment, we get instant rewards and achievements as it is a game. A VR setup tricks the brain to push the limits of pain because it is a fun experience. External factors don’t distract you when you are immersed in a VR workout.

Imagine cycling in the Alps, or trekking the Himalayas or sprinting across the Gold Coast. Sounds fun, personally, VR to me will appeal to those who like gaming and technology. You can also track your results, so keep an eye on the fitness professionals in Dubai who can help you enjoy such a setup.
